(CBS) 1998 - 50.7 million

This is the only drama among the top 10 finales of all time, and it aired as a two-hour movie.

There was no stopping fans from watching the show live Sunday (or at least same-night, thanks to DVRs), as the conclusion to Walter White’s odyssey was watched by an average audience of 10.3 million, according to Nielsen, up 3.7 million (or 56%) from its penultimate episode of the previous week (6.6 million). "Breaking Bad" ranks third among all cable series' finales. Click through the gallery for the top-rated cable and broadcast series finales.

(HBO) 2007 - 11.9 million viewers

The finale’s cut-to-black ending frustrated many fans, but many of them are still talking about the show six years later.

(HBO) 2004 - 10.6 million

The most popular cable comedy ever didn’t go away completely after its finale: A film adaptation came out in 2008, with a sequel following in 2010.

(AMC) 2013 - 10.3 million

It’s the No. 1 ad-supported cable finale of all time, drawing more than seven times the show’s premiere audience of 2008 (1.4 million)

(USA) 2009 - 9.4 million

The comedy-drama about a compulsive-obsessive detective wrapped on a Friday in December, but still drew a large audience.

(TNT) 2012 - 9.1 million

Until “The Walking Dead,” no cable drama could approach the audience level of this procedural, whose finale led into spinoff “Major Crimes.”

(CBS) 1983 - 105.9 million

The 2 and half-hour finale did a 77 share and stood as the most-watched program of any kind until the Super Bowl in 2010, which drew 106.5 million.

(NBC) 1993 - 80.4 million

This number is even more impressive considering that Nielsen only tracks in-home viewing, and thus didn’t count fans watching at any of the numerous bars holding parties for the show.

(NBC) 1998 - 76.3 million

The series-ender, in which the four main characters end up in a jail cell, left many critics cold and remains one of the more controversial finales.

(NBC) 2004 - 52.5 million

Advertisers commanded $2 million for a 30-second commercial for two back-to-back episodes, making it the most expensive sitcom in history.

would go and I envisioned our family and friends congratulating us
